[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5950523, member: 59506"] I Agree. For the sake of the discussion, I was going to at least give WotC and Paizo the benefit of the doubt, but you're probably right. I would also think that not only would it be expensive research, but likely it would be [I]prohibitively[/I] expensive, in that I'm really not sure what the marketing value of such exacting research would be (other than to satisfy curiosity and provide fuel for internet edition wars...;)) In the end, game companies shouldn't really care about how many people "play" their game, all they are concerned with is how many of their game products they can "sell". When it comes to gamers, buying and playing are not always linked. It sounds like that kind of research would be a fools errand...a lot of time and money spent for something that has no real practical application. B-) [/QUOTE]
